Photodetachment of negative hydrogen ion in circularly polarized monochromatic and bichromatic laser fields

摘要

We theoretically have investigated the detachment of negative hydrogen ion in circularly polarized monochromatic and bichromatic laser fields by calculating the photoelectron momentum distributions (PMDs). We find that the PMDs are controlled by the electric field of laser pulse. For circularly polarized monochromatic laser fields, the PMDs are perfect and isotropic rings, and the photodetachment rates in random direction are same. For this case, the photoelectron momentum spectra directly reflect the electronic distributions of negative hydrogen ion. For circularly polarized bichromatic laser field, the PMDs are inversion asymmetric, but symmetric about a certain axis. The emission directions of the photoelectrons vary with the electric field shape, that is to say that the emission directions of the photoelectrons vary with the carrier-envelope (CE) phases, which decide the electric field of laser pulse. The maximal photodetachment rates and the spectra shape, however, are same for the different CE phases.
